Whilst Dr Hengen's summary is to be applauded, it is important to notice
that it was only a summary of postings to the net. That is not the same
as a full review of the scientific literature on the subject and has
potential to mislead.
People who are seriously concerned about the EtBr disposal and protection
problem would do well to go to the original literature and assess the
meaning of the available data for themselves. There is no easy answer, as
far as I can see, and good reason to err on the safe side.
